NAME

       cvsbackport - backport the last change in HEAD to a branch

SYNOPSIS

       cvsbackport file ...

DESCRIPTION

       For  each  file  given on the command line, cvsbackport will attempt to
       determine the last change made to the file in HEAD  and  then  backport
       that change to a CVS branch (the branch name is hard-coded; see below).

       The changes to be backported will be displayed on screen, and you  will
       have the chance to confirm or abort before any commits are made.

       The files must be checked out from HEAD when you run this utility.

       This utility is part of the KDE Software Development Kit.

WARNINGS

       The  branch  tag  is hard-coded into the script (currently it is set to
       KDE_3_4_BRANCH).

       If you abort (i.e., you do not make the suggested commits), your  files
       will  be  checked  out  from the branch (and not from HEAD as they were
       before).
